Chapter 947 She is an eyesore
Li Cheng's words also gave Li Nianqi a way out.
She stepped aside, stood behind Li Cheng and said, "Dad, it's my fault. I was talking too much and made them unhappy."
Li Cheng lectured him, "Why haven't you changed your blunt temper? This isn't a foreign country. You should be more careful with your words."
"Yes, Dad."
There is harmony between father and daughter.
Li Cheng turned around and looked at Huo Xingzhou apologetically and said, "Mr. Huo, I'm so sorry. I've spoiled my daughter. She doesn't think much about what she says or does. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. You are honored guests today. Please come in."
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "I thought Mr. Li was going to say that his daughter was still young and asked us to be more patient."
"No way! I will teach her a lesson in the future so as not to cause you unnecessary trouble."
"Then Mr. Li must keep a close eye on his daughter. I don't want my wife to be disturbed by her again. I also don't want her to say anything incomprehensible, and I don't want to be entangled by her."
The smile on Li Cheng's face could hardly be maintained.
He nodded quickly and said yes.
The Li family can only be considered a second- or third-rate family in the imperial capital, and is obviously far behind the Huo family.
But Li Cheng was ambitious, and there was a great opportunity before him. As long as he could establish a connection with the Pei family, after a few years, perhaps the Li family would also stand at the top of the imperial capital.
"I hope Mr. Li isn't just being perfunctory. I heard you're choosing a husband for your daughter today. I wonder who's so lucky to have caught your eye. Could you share some details with us?"
Huo Xingzhou will not give up easily.
He also wants to counterattack.
This makes it impossible for Li Cheng to find a good family to marry into today.
Li Nianqi said that and then did something so shameless. Who would put their face in front of someone and hit them in public?
Even though Li Cheng had a suitable partner in mind, he didn't dare to say it out loud for fear of messing things up.
You can only swallow it with your teeth broken.
"Mr. Huo, you misunderstood. Tonight is my welcome party back to the capital. Nianqi is indeed still young, and I want to keep her for a few more years. When she grows up, I will find her a good husband. As parents, we only hope that our children are happy."
Huo Xingzhou said so, how could Li Cheng still have the nerve to find a fiancé for his daughter tonight?
Li Nianqi gritted her teeth, and her vicious eyes swept over Qiao Xi from time to time.
This bitch has always been an eyesore.
"Mr. Huo, please come in. My old lady and your wife have some connections, we should interact more often." Li Cheng showed respect to Huo Xingzhou on the surface and gave him enough face.
Huo Xingzhou didn't say much, but took Qiao Xi into the banquet hall.
He's just here tonight for formalities.
He knew Pei Zheng was here, and perhaps he had discussed many illegal things with Li Cheng.
He wanted to find an opportunity to see if he could find out the specific time of Pei Zheng's next smuggling and catch him in the act.
Completely defeat the Pei family!
So he gave Sun Weimeng a wink.
Sun Weimeng is a very lucky man!
He didn't know how he got by, but he was able to find out so much gossip.
Sun Weimeng understood the look in his eyes, so he casually walked into the banquet hall with a glass of wine in hand and started chatting with people. He had a natural charm and could talk to anyone in social situations.
Huo Xingzhou patted Qiao Xi's shoulder gently and said, "Let's go sit over there for a while. Your waist is sore from standing for so long."
"good."
Qiao Xi nodded.
It is indeed much harder to be pregnant with twins, but fortunately she is not very old.
She followed Huo Xingzhou to a corner, not touching the snacks the Li family had sent her. The Li family had Li Nianqi, so there was no need for her to take risks. That girl was crazy and could do anything.
But I didn't expect that she would really return to China this time. It seems that the old lady of the Li family can no longer control her.
The Li family is also destined to go downhill.
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou sat in the corner, chatting close to each other, and seemed to be on good terms.
Li Nianqi was staring at him from a distance, but he was filled with hatred!
The man she fell in love with only had Qiao Xi in his eyes.
Li Nianqi waved her hand and asked a maid to pass on the message: "Go tell Mr. Huo that my father wants to see him about something and hopes to invite him to the study to have a good talk."
"Yes, Miss."
She had to lure Huo Xingzhou out.
Li Nianqi didn't have any perfect plans in her head, she could only use crude and simple methods to achieve her goals.
She watched the maid approach Huo Xingzhou and say a few words, but Huo Xingzhou remained unmoved and didn't even stand up.
The maid walked up to Li Nianqi awkwardly and said, "Boss Huo said he has nothing to say to Mr. Huo. If Mr. Huo really has something important to say, he can come and talk to him. He has to accompany his wife now and has no time to deal with irrelevant people."
Bang!
Li Nianqi raised her hand and slapped him: "You useless thing, you can't even do the job you asked. Can't you make up another excuse to trick him into it?"
"Miss, I'm doing exactly what you told me. Wasn't it Mr. looking for Mr. Huo? It was you who wanted...Miss, Mr. told you not to do anything rash. Many important people are here tonight, and our Li family cannot afford to lose face."
"You called me shameful? Who gave you the guts? Get out of here!"
The maid covered her face with her hands and left with red eyes.
However, Xia Sisi saw this scene and thought it was a good opportunity. It was too difficult to get information from Zhao Qin and the Li family.
Li Nianqi is a good breakthrough point. As a member of the Li family, she should know a lot of inside information.
If she could get even a few words, coupled with that man's strategic planning, Zhao Qin and the Pei family would soon disappear from the imperial capital. At that time, no one would be able to threaten her.
"Miss Li, don't be angry. You are so beautiful that any man would be attracted to you. It must be that the servant just now was not doing his best. If you are willing to trust me, I will try for you."
Xia Sisi walked up to Li Nianqi and recommended herself.
Li Nianqi looked at her with contempt and disdain: "Can you get rid of Huo Xingzhou?"
"Everything depends on human effort. I really want to make friends with Miss Li. To be honest, my brother and Mr. Huo were schoolmates and they had a pretty good relationship."
Li Nianqi had not expected this kind of relationship.
Her eyes lit up: "Really?"
"It's true, but the relationship isn't very close. I'm willing to give it a try for Miss Li."
"Then you give it a try. If you do well, I will definitely benefit from you. If you want any resources in the entertainment industry in the future, I can help you." She said this in a condescending manner, as if she was giving alms.
Xia Sisi's face also showed just the right amount of flattery and ingratiation.
She walked towards Huo Xingzhou with her skirt lifted, and said something unknown. Li Nianqi saw Huo Xingzhou stand up and walk towards the study on the second floor.
Li Nianqi hurriedly chased after him in her high heels.
